Ella The Exhibitionist

Ella is 34 weeks. We can't seem to keep clothes on her today. Reminds me of another little girl I used to know.....

Good Times

Ella had such a great time on the trip. She loves her aunts and misses them already. Her first road trip was a great success!

So Cool!

Ella thought Aunt Jennifer's Pediatric Clinic was really fun. What a great job Aunt Carmen did on painting all the rooms! Ella got to play with all the toys and be a patient. Hopefully her eye infection will be gone and stay gone. She officially weighed in at 20 lbs. 2 oz.

New Family Faces!

Ella got to meet and re-meet some of her extended family. Cousin Michael helped her fix her dvd player, Pudge let her ride bareback, Noah helped her figure out her new toys, and Lucy just made her day!

The Ft. Worth Zoo

Ella had a great time watching all the animals and kids at the zoo on her trip to see Aunt Carmen & Aunt Jennifer.

CAUGHT!

Ella began sitting in her crib a couple of days ago and can now stand in it. That's her mobile sitting next to her that she pulled down. What a stinker.

Designated Driver

Ella is 33 weeks today and thinks she's such a big girl that she doesn't need to take more than 2 hours of naps/day. Apparently not.

Ella's 1st Tooth

Ella suprised Daddy with her first tooth when he got home from his trip. She had a few rough days, but now that Daddy is home, everything is right in the world again.

Still The Best of Friends

But Daddy........

Ella didn't want Daddy to go on his business trip on her 32nd week birthday, so she protested by trying to go as carry-on. I think he would have noticed the extra 19 pounds.

Ella on the Move

Ella is 31 weeks this week. She is feeling much better and is changing daily. She sqwaks at us all the time and can get to something if she needs to....sort of a scoot-crawl. I took this picture after I had left her SITTING on her blanket and came back to her playing with her drum set in the shelves. Time to babyproof!

Happy Friggin' New Year!

Ella rolled in the New Year with a nasty cold and eye infection that after a week, is just now starting to resolve. Daddy put these shelves together to hold all her new things she got for Christmas. Thank you to everyone!
